Re: [Banshee-List] Installing 2.9.1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected in autogen.sh

[Sharky <simondedman gmail com>]

Thanks so much, that did it.

Until the next failure...!

Documenting, probably for myself in future.
Typing "./autogen.sh" in banshee folder fails with:
configure: error: missing required Mono 2.0 assembly: Mono.Posix.dll
Error: Could not run ./configure, which is required to configure banshee

Reason: zesty (17.04) is now up to mono4 & mono 2 is no longer in the repos.
Per previous method,
download it:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/mono-2.0-gac/download
Install with dpkg (in correct folder; move deb to banshee folder)
sudo dpkg -i mono-2.0-gac_2.10.8.1-8+deb7u1_all.deb

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mono-2.0-gac:
 mono-2.0-gac depends on libmono-corlib2.0-cil (>= 2.6.3); however:
  Package libmono-corlib2.0-cil is not installed.
 mono-2.0-gac depends on libmono-security2.0-cil (>= 2.6.7); however:
  Package libmono-security2.0-cil is not installed.

download, move to banshee folder, dkpg install:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/libmono-system2.0-cil/download
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/libmono-security2.0-cil/download
sudo dpkg -i libmono-system2.0-cil_2.10.8.1-8+deb7u1_all.deb

libmono-system2.0-cil depends on libmono-corlib2.0-cil (>= 2.6.3); however:
  Package libmono-corlib2.0-cil is not installed.
 libmono-system2.0-cil depends on libmono-posix2.0-cil (>= 2.4); however:
  Package libmono-posix2.0-cil is not installed.
 libmono-system2.0-cil depends on libmono-security2.0-cil (>= 2.6.7);
however:
  Package libmono-security2.0-cil is not installed.
 libmono-system2.0-cil depends on mono-runtime (<< 2.10.8.2); however:
  Version of mono-runtime on system is 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1ubuntu1.
 mono-devel (4.6.2.7+dfsg-1ubuntu1) breaks libmono-system2.0-cil (<< 4.0.1~)
and is installed.
  Version of libmono-system2.0-cil to be configured is 2.10.8.1-8+deb7u1.

sudo dpkg -i libmono-security2.0-cil_2.10.8.1-8+deb7u1_all.deb

Thanks.
